Guys, I need some feedback on this watch (see pic below). It's an "Oris" Big Crown watch. They made aviation watches in the 30s/40s and this is their classic one that has lasted through the ages of their existence as a company. This one was probably made in the 1990's, but...do you feel it has 'that' vintage/classic look to it? It's a swiss mechanical watch, so the seconds hand sweeps (unlike the horrible movement of quartz, IMPO..). Think this baby will go with my Fed and brogues?

I really need a few second opinions on this guys, otherwise I wouldn't be asking.. :confused:

Thanks in anticipation...a rather befuddled Paddy..!!

Hand style is spot on. Ditto the milled coin edge around the crystal.
Most period miltary watches were manual wind, but most people are not going to know that, and the automatics are certainly more convenient for everday wear.
